Abstract

In this paper, a new design of a slotted bow-tie antenna is proposed. The proposed antenna operating frequency is 28 GHz which is a candidate standard for millimeter waveband and 5G technologies. The proposed antenna has been designed and simulated using five different substrate materials for two different substrate thicknesses. The obtained results are compared and tested until an optimal design is reached. The dimensions of the proposed antenna are optimized at separate times using the parametric optimization technique to get the smallest size with high efficiency. The return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, the 3D polar plot and the gain of the antenna were simulated. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed design has good radiation characteristics at 28 GHz. Proposed antenna design can be used for future 5G devices.

5G Yarıklı Panyon Anten Tasarımı

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, bir yarıklı papyon antenin yeni bir tasarımı önerilmiştir. Önerilen anten çalışma frekansı, milimetre dalga bandı ve 5G teknolojileri için aday bir standart olan 28 GHz’dür. Önerilen anten, iki farklı taban malzeme kalınlığı için beş farklı taban malzemesi kullanılarak tasarlanmış ve benzetimi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar optimum bir tasarım elde edilene kadar karşılaştırmış ve test edilmiştir. Önerilen antenin boyutları, parametrik optimizasyon tekniği kullanılarak en küçük boyutu yüksek verimlilikle elde etmek için ayrı zamanlarda eniyilenmiştir. Geri dönüş kaybı, duran dalga oranı, üç boyutlu kutupsal grafiği ve anten kazancı hesaplanmıştır. Benzetim sonuçları, önerilen tasarımın 28 GHz'de iyi ışıma özelliklerine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Önerilen tasarım, gelecek 5G cihazlarında kullanılabilir.
